Busy Bee

So much has happened in such a short time but I still feel like I have nothing to blog about. I have developed a serious Craigslist addiction. Now that I have an app on my iTouch that makes it easy to view ads and their photos I am on the hunt for everything and anything. As a result of said addiction I have aquired picket fencing for the front yard (super duper YAY!), two swivel chairs, a ceiling fan and a new coffee table. It may sound like a lot, but I can tell you that if every item I had called on/looked at would have made it home with me I would have a few more. Oh yeah, did I mention that this has all happened in like the last 2 1/2 weeks...
I told you I had a severe addiction. I only check for new listings like a dozen times a day, it could be worse. :)
So lets start with the chairs since I don't have pictures of the fan or the fencing.

For such a small space I sure had a lot of furniture. We got rid of the gigantic sectional which has given the room so much space. Whatever, boring...moving on.

So other than that I got a really cool carnivorous plant.

Not a great picture but I love my little sundew. Best thing about it is that it just sits in a little tray of distilled water and that's about all I have to do since it feeds itself. :)

I also planted my window box again today. That's right again. Not sure if I posted pictures the last few times I did but it is a pretty frequent occurence.

It will be interesting to see how it looks in a month. I am hoping it will be robust and out of control and falling all over the place. We will see if the sun bakes this one.

Oh yeah, and I found this little guy outside too.

I will never forget the uh-huh moment I had in class one day when we talked about beneficial and predatory insects. This little guy is an adolescent lady bug. As with a lot of little buggies that I find while gardening I used to squish these kinds of bugs all the time always wondering what they were. It's true that I always seem to have a lot of lady bugs around and I love them. I feel a little sad every time I think about how many I must have killed. :(

But, I don't do that anymore so hopefully they forgive me.

I have a million projects going on, not started yet and half done so there will be a lot to come. I have like a million plants that still need to be transplanted and I think the vast numbers of plants that I started this year is really starting to sink in. Anyway, this was a strange post and I should probably erase it but it's better than nothing so here it goes.
